Janzen Jackson
Janzen Jackson has signed with Tennessee.
The 6-foot, 175-pound defensive back from Barbe High School in Lake Charles, La., had been committed to LSU since last February but announced his signing with UT Thursday morning.
Jackson visited UT, LSU and Alabama last month before making his final decision.
Jackson, who’s ranked the No. 2 cornerback in the nation by Rivals.com, is the 20th signee for UT’s 2009 signing class.
More details later online and in Friday's News Sentinel.

No...the real hits are coming from the secondary starting in the fall.
DisorientedVol writes:
Our DBs and LBs look really good. I just hope the front four can get it done. I am not even going to mention the offense.
auttat writes:
What say the Florida boys (99, dc, zz) about Lane possibly turning Florida, Urban Meyer in for secondary rules violation? Calling Nu'Keese while he was on his visit to UT?

This is a big exclamation point on this recruiting class. Great job UT coaches!!!!

Indeed it is Great to be a Tennessee Volunteer!! "I don't think this class is over," Kiffin said. "I think you've got another surprise coming here real quick." Thanks to all the Coaches!!

Anymore possible surprises coming? What about the 2 RB's remaining?

Got to be the quote of the day.

I guess Orgeron forgot to drop "F" bombs this time. He'll have to work harder if he wants to run off top notch recruits LOL.

I dunno...I think this is the quote of the day... "I don't think this class is over," Kiffin said. "I think you've got another surprise coming here real quick."

This is HUUGE. Signing both Myles and Jackson will give us depth at DB. Also, getting these too frosh some PT this year will benefit us in 2010 after Morley graduates and Berry (please no) declares for the draft

This secondary is going to be great. I cant to see them flying around putting the hurt on people. Watch out SEC the big dog is on his way back to the top. The Rocky Top! Go Vols!
joshvols writes:
I completely agree Nooga. this guy is the real deal. With Berry, Myles, Rogan, Moreley/Vinson and Janzen Jackson that is the best nickel group in the country. If the boys up front can stop the run, and i have a feeling Monte Kiffin can come up with something, we have a chance to be special on this side of the ball.

5* WR
Cave Man like big ugly Orgeron! He building fire - Cave Man like FIRE!!

This is awesome, way to deliver! Welcome to the family, Janzen!!
DisorientedVol writes:
I'm ready for spring practice. Has anyone heard Kiffin comment about our current quarterbacks? We have receivers and running backs, not a bad Oline once they are in shape. I hope Crompton has a breakout year. Maybe Kiffin can give him the confidence and decision-making he lacks.

Did he say this after Jackson's confirmation?
orngbluded writes:
This is a great pickup,it shows what is coming,we will have a top 5 class next year mark it down now,and to the rest of the sec look over your shoulders bit*hes because here we come.

Awesome! Let's hold opponents to under 10 and get us a world class kicker to replace offense!

Let's see how these 5* WR's do against Berry, Jackson, Myles, Teague, Morley, Vinson, and Company!!!!!!!
I can't wait to see how many aligator arms we see next year...........Ha
jobrando#216494 writes:
I assume we need to be one of these kid's second choice and soon as one decides then the other will.
StroVol writes:
With this defense I'm thinking punt on first down and let Berry and crew have fun

Good pick now if we can get a running back

All these high quality DB's should make it a lot easier to defense the spread offense.
Go Vols!!

Marlon Brown: we respect your choice, son, but you'd better strap up real good before you line up against secondary this fall. Have a few spare mouthpieces on the sidelines...just in case you lose one or two.

Him and Eric Berry will look good when they are punishing marlon brown for not coming to ut

Hell, no one even mentioned Eric Gordan in this forum. He is a stud too.
